mostly my thoughts can be summarised with: it was good for passing the time and i am sure will make a lot of crime fiction fans happy. personally, i wish i had read it why on vacation myself but alas, it is the end of a work week in october.

favourite stories: "the adventure of the devil's foot" by arthur conan doyle*, "the murder of the golf links" by m. mcdonnell bodkin, "the finger of stone" by g.k. chesterton, "the vanishing of mrs fraser" by basil thomson*, "the hazel ice" by h.c. bailey, "razor edge" by anthony berkley*, "where is mr manetot?" by phyllis bentley*, "the house of screams by gerald findler*

(stories marked with an * i enjoyed entirely; the remainder had a strong element that made them stand out but nearly did not make the list)
